Charming Chains

I used bits and pieces of old jewelry, charms, crystals, and chain to make extra long necklaces of various metals. Silver, brass, gunmetal…in lengths of at least 33 inches.

The advantage here is no need for clasps. They easily slip over your head. Some of the inexpensive base metal charms have been altered with acrylic paint or alcohol inks to add pops of color to the collection.
